Eleventh in the standings and in excellent form, Rennes aims to further consolidate its position. With only four points away from ninth place, the Beye-led team is preparing to face the most demanding challenge: the one with PSG. Still unbeaten in this edition of Ligue 1, Luis Enrique’s men do not seem intent on slowing down their run to the title. It will be played at 5 p.m.

Rennes comes to the challenge with a remarkable performance in recent weeks: four victories in the last five league games, including a clear 0-4 thrashing of Montpellier. The new coach, Beye, who took over from Sampaoli, has been able to give new identity and stability to the team, which can now concretely aim to climb back to the top of the standings.

On the’other side, PSG continues to dominate Ligue 1. The 4-1 infliction on Lille in the last round reaffirmed the superiority of the Parisian team, which is getting closer and closer to winning its 13th national title, with a lead of no less than 13 points over the second in the standings. However, the European journey has reserved a setback: in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Liverpool, despite a convincing and for long stretches dominant performance, PSG suffered an undeserved 1-0 defeat. But with the return leg still to be played, everything è still at stake.

Probable lineups

Rennes (3-4-3): Samba; Rouault, Jacquet, Brassier; Assignon, James, Koné, Truffert; Tamari, Kalimuendo, Blas. Coach: Beye

Paris Saint Germain (4-3-3): Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Ruiz, Vitinha, Doué; Kvaratskhelia, Dembélé, Barcola. Coach: Luis Enrique
